@op did you get a warning on the message that it could be phishing?

If I am thinking of the same warning message, that warning is only displayed with newbies send a PM, and it is displayed for all newbies, regardless of PM content.


When I try to post the above BB code in a post, the link does not show up as green when I hover over the link. While this is a phishing link, santhosh121081 was not able to beat the anti-phishing measures of the forum.

That's weird. It was legit-looking and clickable in the PM. Maybe that URL has now been flagged by the system and so won't properly render anymore?
The URL is clickable, but the forum has implemented a security feature that will display links to the bitcointalk forum as green when the user hovers their mouse over the link, and will display as blue for all other links. The link in question was not to a bitcointalk forum page and was displayed as green
